It's simple, really.

No investigation is needed.

If you stand in front of a moving bulldozer you'll likely get squashed.

The results of my investigation are as follows:

1. Rachel Corrie was really stupid.

2. She apparently acquired said stupidity from her parents.

new facts I had not known....early indoctrination....

"Some of that came from attending an alternative elementary school the Corries helped found in the 1980s. The school's core curriculum focuses on the environment, social justice and peace."

Letter sent to both of my Senators and my congresscritter:

Craig and Cynthia Corrie of Charlotte, N.C., are the parents of Rachel Corrie, the girl who died Monday in a bulldozer accident in Gaza, Israel. It has come to my attention that her parents are calling for a US investigation into this matter. I agree.

Therefore, Please introduce a measure to fully investigate the International Solidarity Movement that Rachel Corrie belonged to, to determine it's connections to terrorism and/or terrorist groups. Also Evergreen State College, where she was a student, should be investigated for not only it's ties to terrorist groups, but to find out how much Federal Funding provided for education is being diverted into supporting terrorism.

Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.

On Sunday, the world first learned of Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American killed by an Israeli military bulldozer in the Gaza Strip as she sought to stop the demolition of a Palestinian house.

This response will save time and money.

Here's your probe. She stepped in front of a bulldozer, intentionally. It didn't stop.

Nothing new here.

Armored bulldozer. Big. Limited visibility for the driver. Slow.

Dumbass terrorist symp. Small. Good visibility. Faster than a bulldozer. Too stupid to get out of the way while the getting is good.

Darwin never sleeps.

I'll save the government some money.

RESULTS OF PROBE: This young lady was somewhere she shouldn't have been.

Let's see; at $50 per hour, the charge for my probe is 27 cents.

Corrie getting bulldozed is the logical conclusion to the way she was raised by these well meaning fools. Israel doesn't' bulldoze for the heck of it. There is a context. It's a total lie that if only Israel were out of Gaza/West Bank there would be peace. 

Israel would just get an accelerated Jihad. If for no other reason that there so many unemployed Palestinian "youth" and their ranks increase daily. There's no work for them to do. The Pallie women do all the hard work, bearing and raising huge broods of future Jihadists.

They will ride in ambulances with Palestinian patients that need to get to the hospital.

Palestinians Use Ambulances for Terrorism

On March 10, 2003, Isalam Jibril, a Red Crescent ambulance driver, was charged with using ambulances to transport weapons to terrorists of the Fatah Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Nablus and Ramallah. According to international law and minimal standards of human decency, this is a serious violation. Transport of such dangerous materials endangered the passengers in the ambulance and caused hardship and suffering for countless other genuinely sick people who will travel in ambulances that must be inspected for weapons to prevent such incidents.

The IDF spokesman said that among the weapons that the accused transported were guns and explosive belts which were intended for use in terror attacks. In order to disguise the contents of the ambulance, which included a volatile explosive belt, Jibril asked a doctor and his brother's wife and children to accompany him and masquerade as sick people. Then he drove to a checkpoint outside Ramallah where IDF forces stopped him.

The accused pleaded guilty to the charges brought against him and was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison and an additional suspended sentence.

According to the indictment, the accused was an ambulance driver for the Palestinian Red Crescent at the end of August 2001 when he held a number of telephone conversations with Nadal Zahar also known as "Abu-Antar," a senior terrorist in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, the military wing of Fatah- Tanzim. Abu-Antar asked the accused to transport "material" to Nablus and Ramallah, which the accused immediately understood meant weapons for terrorist attacks.

Soon, Abu-Antar visited the home of the accused in Balata and asked if he was prepared to transport guns to Ramallah. The accused agreed and one night a few weeks latter, Abu-Antar brought over a black sack containing a revolver. The accused was instructed to pass the revolver on to Mahmoud Yusuf Adris Al-Surqan, head of Sheikh Ziad Hospital in Ramallah and a resident of El-Bireh.

Upon delivery, the accused was asked by Adris to carry back a letter and a large package which contained the dates and details of terror attacks carried out by members of the Al- Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade. The letter contained the phrase, "Send grass for the lamb." The accused testified that he immediately understood that this was a code from Adris requesting weapons or ammunition from Abu-Antar.

Explosive Belt Hidden in an Ambulance

On March 26, 2002, the accused spoke to Abu-Antar on the phone and he agreed to use his ambulance to transport an explosive belt to Ramallah. Abu-Antar arrived at the home of the accused in Balata with Muhammud Titi, another terrorist in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade and another man who waited with a car. When the accused said he was not working that evening, Abu-Antar offered to pay him for his services.

During the night, the accused hid a package containing the explosive belt under the stairs in his living room. In the early hours of the morning, the accused opened the package and discovered that it was a bomb attached to ten plastic bottles. In order to transfer the explosive belt without detection, he called his work manager and asked to transport his allegedly sick sister-in-law and her son from Nablus to the hospital in Ramallah, promising that he would reimburse any expenses when he returned.

The accused placed the explosive belt under the stretcher in the ambulance and a battery on the ambulance monitor. Afterwards he picked up Dr. Assan, a dentist who had been asked to accompany the accused on his trip to Ramallah. The accused also picked up his sister-in-law and her children. Together they drove towards Ramallah in the ambulance with the explosive belt. The accused succeeded in crossing the Hawarah checkpoint but was stopped at the IDF checkpoint next to the Rama Bridge, where the explosive belt was discovered and safely detonated by IDF forces.

Craig and Cindy Corrie spent yesterday in Washington, D.C., demanding lawmakers begin a U.S.-led investigation into the death of their youngest daughter, Rachel.

It's a shift for them to take up a cause, Craig Corrie said. It was Rachel who was always so socially and politically conscious. She was the family's activist.


It's not a shift for Rachel's parents to take up a cause, as you can see from these quotes... Israel Military Kills Peace Activist

Somebody's lying.

But that isn't enough for her family, said her father, who told lawmakers the investigation should be handled by the FBI or State Department, and not left to the Israeli government.

What part of foreign sovereign state doesn't this moron understand?
Looks like IQ and common sense is not predominant in that gene pool.

You go to a foreign country, violate their laws, act like an idiot and take your chances.

I think she was almost embarrassed about the things she had. She always felt she could find a better use for money.

Poor little rich girl. I notice there is no mention of any real jobs. Her parents can blame themselves in many many ways, it's pretty obvious they were handing her money right and left, paying for vacation trips to the Middle East so she could feel good, instead of ever teaching her anything practical. Obvious she knew nothing about big machines.

I agree! How someone with such a low I.Q. could ever have been granted a U.S. Passport is truly shocking!
